- Unilateral peripheral vestibular deficit can occur from a different etiology
including viral infection, trauma, ear surgery or idiopathic. Patients with sudden
unilateral vestibular deficit usually complain of whirling vertigo, postural
imbalance and ipsilesional lateropulsion, which gradually recover over a few
weeks by vestibular compensation mechanism. Vestibular rehabilitation therapy
has been accepted as helpful exercise based training program with strong evidence
for acceleration of vestibular compensation in unilateral vestibular deficit. Here
the authors described the current issue regarding vestibular rehabilitation in
unilateral vestibular hypofunction from the informative literature review.
